170 THE PROTEOMORPHIC THEORY AND THE NEW MEDICINE 



found disturbance of the blood, evidenced among other things 

 by modifications in the quality of the red corpuscles and the rela- 

 tive numbers of the different types of white corpuscles. Cancer 

 is never a merely local condition. 



To put the matter in untechnical language, the corpuscles fight 

 the developing cancer cells; if they win, the cancer is eliminated. 

 The development of a cancer of tangible size is proof positive 

 that the corpuscles have lost the fight. It may plausibly be 

 argued that if a way could be found to increase the cohorts of 

 corpuscles, and to increase their fighting capacity, the tide of 

 battle might be turned, and the corpuscles, hitherto defeated, 

 might now become victorious against the cancer cells. 



When the Proteals are administered hypodermically, rejuve- 

 nation of the cohorts of blood corpuscles takes place. That is a 

 simple matter of fact, which I have demonstrated hundreds of 

 times under the microscope. My observations have been con- 

 firmed by numerous independent workers. It has further been 

 observed that the physical condition of the cancer patient very 

 generally undergoes a marked change soon after the Proteal 

 treatment is instituted. Even where cancer had reached a late 

 stage, perhaps following successive operations, and was now 

 inoperable and supposedly hopeless, marked changes of favor- 

 able character have been observed repeatedly. 



I have personally collected and published reports of 766 such 

 cases, treated by more than one hundred and fifty physicians, 

 showing that, in the estimate of the physicians themselves, 64 

 per cent, of these "hopeless" cases showed conspicuous improve- 

 ment under the non-specific protein treatment. 



In a certain number of these cases the improvement continued 

 until the physician regarded the patient as clinically well. The 

 percentage of such seeming recoveries was small; but that a 

 single supposedly "hopeless" case could be thus reported in 

 the early stages of the use of a new method of treatment was 

 in the highest degree enheartening. To the observers of such a 

 transformation the result seems to border on the miraculous. 



Even where the ultimate results fell short of this there were 

 temporary effects in a large proportion of cases that seemed 

 decidedly worth while. For example, in response to a special 

 request, I received reports at one time from 142 physicians cov- 

 ering 284 inoperable cases. The reports came from 37 States 

 and from several provinces of Canada, all the physicians being 

 men of recognized standing. The specific preliminary results in 

 this group of cases were as follows: 



Where pain was present, it was favorably modified by the 

 non-specific protein treatment in 77.4 per cent, of all cases. Gen- 

 erally the use of stupefying opiates could be discontinued. Where
